The glow in Ecoglo originates from strontium aluminate phosphor โ€“ a pigment that absorbs light and slowly releases it as a bright green glow to meet the output requirements of our products.

Like the dial on a Navy Sealโ€™s dive watch, or the star and planets stickers on your childโ€™s bedroom ceiling.

This material is non-radioactive, and chemically inert, minimising the impact on the environment when disposed of correctly.

โ€ข Absorption: The pigment absorbs photons from light sources such as sunlight or LEDs.
โ€ข Storage: The energy is stored in the material at a higher energy state.
โ€ข Emission: In darkness, the stored energy is released as a visible glow, lasting for hours.

Batteries in Landfills: Why the Emergency Lighting Industry Must Lead the Way

In the safety and emergency lighting industry, reliability is non-negotiable. Batteries have long been a cornerstone of traditional systems, yet their environmental cost is staggering. At Ecoglo, we believe itโ€™s time for a brighter, more sustainable solution โ€“ one that eliminates the need for batteries entirely.

A Long-Term Problem for a Short-Term Solution

Batteries power many emergency lighting systems, but their disposal leaves an environmental legacy that lasts for centuries:

  • Alkaline batteries take over 100 years to decompose, slowly leaching harmful chemicals into the soil and water.
  • Lithium-ion batteries found in modern systems may persist for hundreds of years, resisting natural breakdown.
  • Lead-acid batteries corrode, but their toxic contents, like lead, remain indefinitely, posing long-term risks.

Every battery in a landfill today represents a missed opportunity to prioritise sustainable innovation.

Lighting the Way Without Batteries

At Ecoglo, weโ€™ve reimagined emergency lighting with a focus on sustainability. Our photoluminescent technology is designed to eliminate the need for batteries by harnessing natural and artificial light, our products charge during normal conditions and glow brightly when it matters most.

Our mission is simple: replace outdated, battery-reliant systems with innovative, sustainable solutions that protect people and don’t cost the planet.

A Future Free of Battery Waste

Ecogloโ€™s photoluminescent safety systems prove that sustainability and safety can go hand in hand. By reducing reliance on batteries, weโ€™re not only helping buildings stay compliant and cost-efficient but also taking a stand against the environmental harm caused by traditional systems.

Because in the emergency lighting industry, the brightest ideas are the ones that last โ€“ for people today and the planet tomorrow.
